A heavy oblique sans with geometric, superellipse-driven construction and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and low-contrast, producing dense, dark silhouettes with compact counters and sturdy joins. The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, and the shapes lean toward squared rounds (especially in O/0-like forms), giving the type a robust, engineered rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a tight, efficient overall footprint.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and sports or automotive-themed graphics where a strong italic presence is desirable. It can also function for short blurbs or UI callouts at larger sizes, where its compact counters and heavy color remain clear.
The font reads as assertive and kinetic, with a sporty, promotional tone. Its rounded-rectangle geometry softens the weight while still projecting strength, making the overall feel contemporary, confident, and slightly industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, forward-moving sans for attention-driven typography, combining a strong oblique stance with rounded-rect geometry to feel both powerful and approachable. It emphasizes uniformity and solid shapes to create consistent, high-contrast-on-the-page texture in display contexts.
The numerals and uppercase share the same compact, forward-leaning stance, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings. The lowercase shows single-storey constructions where visible (notably the ‘a’), reinforcing a geometric, simplified voice that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
